Quick Glance: Massive Deforestation for Tesla's Gigafactory in Germany
  • The construction of the Tesla gigafactory near Berlin has led to the felling of approximately 500,000 trees, according to satellite analysis. This development has sparked significant controversy and protests, raising questions about the environmental trade-offs of transitioning to a green economy.

  • Since May 2023, climate activists have been protesting against the planned expansion of the gigafactory by occupying tree houses and attempting to storm the site. One protest included setting fire to a power pole, which temporarily halted production at the factory.

  • Analysis from Kayrros indicates that the deforestation, covering around 329 hectares, also contributes to global environmental damage through metal mining. An environmental group representative stressed the need to prevent further destruction and the risk to protected drinking water areas.

  • In July, Brandenburg's environment ministry approved a plan to double production at the Tesla plant to 1 million vehicles per year. Numerous environmental incidents at the site, including diesel and aluminum spills, have been reported, although Tesla claims these did not cause environmental harm.
